In pre-Christian Rome, Saturnalia was the annual win- ter solstice celebration coinciding with the feast days for Saturn (the god of sowing and the harvest), Consus (god of the storage bin) and Opa (goddess of plenty).

Many of our contemporary winter holiday traditions derive from

garlands, donations to the

needy, prayers for peace,

time off work to be enjoyed

with family, and of course

eating, drinking and merriment. NABC pays tribute to these ancient pagan origins with Satur-

nalia, our holiday draft celebration. Dozens of special kegs from the USA and around the world

? some rare, some seasonal and others just plain festive ? will

be pouring at our Pizzeria & Public House at 3312 Plaza Drive.

When the doors open at 11:00 a.m. on our new Saturnalia kick-off

day, Plaid Friday (November 28), the first wave of sacrificial MMXIV

Saturnalia selections will be tapped in the traditional, ritualistic

manner, and the hedonistic pleasures will begin. The remaining kegs

will be deployed as the days pass, and the revelry is expected to con-

tinue throughout the month of December.
